Hi Arjan,
Thank you. I can translate German and Dutch. I may not get the idioms and colloquialisms right, but will get the basics.
Sorry Jose, I was thinking about leaving the silver like it is. So far, all I have done is to gently clean the white residue from the carving on the hilt. Otherwise, I think that I'll leave it alone.
